Now, I'm home for the holidays, planning out 2026: two exhibitions in NYC, two residencies, several writing commissions already on the books, the production of a new body of work, a slew of studio visits, and the publication of my first peer-reviewed paper. Here's to 2026!

I began my Writer-in-Residence with @BottoDAO where I contribute Dada-inspired posts about @bottoproject's weekly mints. I was awarded a residency at Catwalk in the first quarter of 2026, where I plan on sequencing Psychic Telephone's forthcoming book and exhibition (!!).

In November, I flew to Norway for the @lumenprize ceremony because 'An Incantation in Twelve Prompts' was nominated for the Still Image category. I also partook in a whirlwind of silliness w. @_nonfigurativ_ @kev_esh @CaballeroAnaMa @Carlo_VandeRoer

In January, I was invited to contribute to a semi-regular column on @_TheTransmitter about NeuroAI, the field that bridges neuroscience and AI, using brain science to improve AI and AI tools to understand the brain. https://t.co/XyRnkpdFzk

This week’s Substack is with Liliana Farber. We discuss the illusion of objectivity in cartographic images, the real ecological and political costs of “immaterial” infrastructures like the cloud, and fictional servers on flagless boats. Enjoy. https://t.co/BAmPkE3lYj
